Among the archaeological discoveries of the modern era, the Qumran
site and the Dead Sea Scrolls are some of the most significant.
These finds offer rich understanding of not only Judaism but also
the Christian New Testament. Joerg Frey, through careful study and
insight, illuminates these texts for the modern reader. Qumran and
Christian Origins examines the hermeneutical framework of Qumran
scholarship, patterns for relating the Scrolls to early
Christianity, and the methodological challenges faced by
comparisons between Qumran texts and New Testament writings. In a
critical evaluation of earlier views, Frey provides a summary of
the Scrolls' impact on our views of the historical Jesus, Paul and
his language, and the Johannine literature. Frey then considers how
the Scrolls inform our understanding of the origins and meaning of
apocalypticism, ancient concepts of scriptural authority, and the
growth of the biblical canon. The final chapters discuss the
relationship between the Qumran texts and ancient testimonies about
the Essenes and the connection between the Scrolls and the
archaeological site of Qumran. Drawing on several decades of Frey's
research, this book demonstrates why students of the New Testament
must study early Jewish texts, and in particular the Qumran corpus,
and how these texts can be aptly applied. In the end, the hope is
that we will have learned to see the New Testament more in terms of
contemporary Judaism. Such insights are of profound theological
importance, enabling us to pay attention to a feature of
Christianity that was fundamental in its beginnings and is still
significant today.
